Microplastics have infiltrated the marine food web and are turning everyday seafood into a hidden exposure route for toxic chemicals. Drawing on field research across Southeast Asia, Japan, and Europe, we trace how microplastics and absorbed pollutants move from ocean gyres and polluted coasts into bivalves, small whole fish, and ultimately our plates. We combine marine biology, toxicology, industry reporting, and policy analysis to assess health risks and practical steps consumers can take.
What We'll Discuss:
- π Why bivalves concentrate microplastics
- π Risks from small whole fish and fillets
- π Regional contamination patterns explained
- π§ͺ Chemical hitchhikers on microplastics
- ποΈ Policy gaps and industry opacity
- π‘οΈ Practical consumer risk-reduction steps
